Why do some of your output fields have <space> as a replacement for data that is not present (row 2, column C; row 3, column A; and row 3, column B) and other output fields have nothing as a replacement for data that is not present (row 2, column D)?
Why isn't the desired output just:
Code:
A,B,C,D
1,2,3,4
?
Are the column headers between the two files always distinct? If not, how do common column headers affect the desired output?
Are there always just one header line and one data line in each input file? If not, how is the output supposed to be ordered? All lines from File-1 followed by all lines from File2? Alternating lines from File-1 and File-2? Does something different happen if the number of lines in the two files differs?

pr
PR(1) General Commands Manual PR(1)NAME
pr - print file
SYNOPSIS
pr [ option ... ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Pr produces a printed listing of one or more files on its standard output. The output is separated into pages headed by a date, the name
of the file or a specified header, and the page number. With no file arguments, pr prints its standard input.
Options apply to all following files but may be reset between files:
-n Produce n-column output.
+n Begin printing with page n.
-b Balance columns on last page, in case of multi-column output.
-d Double space.
-en Set the tab stops for input text every n spaces.
-h Take the next argument as a page header (file by default).
-in Replace sequences of blanks in the output by tabs, using tab stops set every n spaces.
-f Use formfeeds to separate pages.
-ln Take the length of the page to be n lines instead of the default 66.
-m Print all files simultaneously, each in one column.
-n Number the lines of each file.
-on Offset the left margin n character positions.
-sc Separate columns by the single character c instead of aligning them with white space. A missing c is taken to be a tab.
-t Do not print the 5-line header or the 5-line trailer normally supplied for each page.
-wn For multi-column output, take the width of the page to be n characters instead of the default 72.
